    The “Decisions” Movie Premiere and Celebration of Corey Haim’s Life

    ‘ This past Sunday night, fellow celebrity stalker and photo-bug extraordinaire Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, invited me to do some stalking of the premiere of Corey Haim’s final movie, Decisions, at the Writers Guild Theatre in Beverly Hills.  I could NOT have been more excited to attend because, as I have mentioned…

  • The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    The Darkroom from “The Big Picture”

    ‘ Sometimes I think Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I are one brain living in two different bodies.  Case in point – one of my most beloved movies of all time is the little-known 1989 sleeper The Big Picture, which I saw with my mom shortly after it originally came out almost two-and-a-half decades ago.  In…

  • Never Never Land

    Never Never Land

    ‘ Now, even though he has some issues – I do love me some MJ. So I was quite distressed to find out last weekend that MJ’”‘”‘s ranch, Neverland, is in a state of disarray and might be sold and torn down. I just happened to be spending a couple of days in Santa Barbara, so…

    The Pasadena House Where the Prom in “Twilight” Was Filmed

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for what seems like forever now is the Pasadena-area home where part of the prom scene from the original Twilight movie was filmed.  I first found out about this location while browsing through Catherine Hardwick’s fabulous book Twilight: Director’s Notebook at my local bookstore. …

    Leslie Knope’s House from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ A few months ago, fellow stalker Brandon (the very same stalker who tracked down the Skyline Residence from Crazy, Stupid, Love., which I blogged about back in November) emailed me to ask for some help in locating the Craftsman-style abode where Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) lives on the television series Parks and Recreation.  And…

  • Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    Westfield Culver City from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

    ‘ Some filming locations are maddeningly elusive.  One that remained a thorn in my side for ages was the mall where Janey Glenn (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Lynne Stone (Helen Hunt) shopped in Girls Just Want to Have Fun, which, for those who haven’t been paying attention over the years, is one of my all-time…

    The Daily Grill at LAX from “Red Eye”

    ‘ I am officially back from vacation today (yesterday’s post was pre-written).  I could not have had a more fabulous time and was heartbroken when my best friend, Robin, and his family returned to their native Switzerland.  During moments like this, I am reminded of the quote, “Don’t be sorry it’s over.  Be glad it…

  • Nate Archibald’s Townhouse

    Nate Archibald’s Townhouse

    ‘ Rather than suffer through the re-run abyss airing on most television networks this past summer, my fiance and I instead decided to purchase and watch the first two seasons of the hit CW series Gossip Girl, which neither of us had ever before seen.  Even though Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had been telling me for months that I would love the show,…

    Premiering It With Miss Pinky Lovejoy

    ‘ I spent all morning yesterday taking care of some business on the West Side and then the afternoon stalking the premiere of The Possession with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, so I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow with…

    Quake!

    ‘ The other night while driving home from the hospital – yes, my dad is in the hospital yet again – I happened to hit a red light at the corner of Green Street and Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena. The light took a really long time to change and while waiting I just happened to…
